SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 27, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
MoSys (NASDAQ:MOSY), a leader in semiconductor solutions that enable fast, intelligent data access for Cloud, network, and communications systems, today announced that Oricane will partner with MoSys to support developments on the MoSys® Programmable Search Engine platform. Oricane has developed a family of network search algorithms, including code and management software called
BioCAM® Search. The algorithms and software can be customized and optimized to customer requirements on a MoSys
Bandwidth Engine® (BE) or
Programmable Search Engine (PSE) platform to deliver differentiated networking search or data processing solutions for Cloud infrastructure applications such as SDN, NFV, load balancing, processor offload or security.

The MoSys PSE is a monolithic IC designed for packet processor offload that leverages 32 search-optimized processing engines, data access schedulers, and over one and a half terabits of internal access bandwidth. The device combines MoSys’ proven serial interface technology and high-density integrated memory with the processor engine architecture. Paired with FPGAs or network processors, the PSE or BE platforms deliver a compelling solution for customized high-performance packet processing and analytics applications.

The Oricane BioCAM Search algorithm and software accelerates classification and forwarding of Internet traffic functions, such as longest prefix matching and multiple field classification, providing a high-speed, high-density search solution. Together with MoSys’ PSE and BE platforms, BioCAM Search algorithms and software provide an innovative alternative to TCAMs and other traditional memory architectures while enabling new capabilities.

BioCAM Search can transform the PSE into a high-speed and high-density alternative to TCAMs with native support for IPv4/IPv6 Longest Prefix Matching (LPM) and IPv4/IPv6 Multiple Field Classification (MFC) for ACL/SDN type applications. Taking advantage of the 1Gb table capacity of the PSE, the BioCAM Search algorithms can support table sizes in the range of 8 to 16 million prefixes and ACL rule sets of 1 million. With size and performance tradeoff flexibility, the combination can yield capacity that is up to 4x larger than a TCAM and support packet processors with aggregate packet rates up to 400Gbps and search requirements as high as 1Bsps.

“The Cloud requires performance and flexible programming of networking functions and processor offloads to support a dynamic infrastructure with low capex and opex,” stated
John Monson, VP of marketing and sales for MoSys. “The performance and flexibility of the PSE architecture combined with software solutions, such as Oricane’s, enables OEMs and network operators to deliver configurable platforms capable of supporting terabits per second.”

MoSys supports an integrated development environment (IDE) to support code development for its PSE and PSE models to validate functionality prior to integration. In addition, evaluation boards based on FMC have been developed to plug into standard FPGA platforms.

MoSys BE and PSE devices and platforms, as well as Oricane BioCAM software, are available today. Customers interested in getting started on development of a custom search solution can contact either company.
